Medelssohn's overture to the Hebrides
Anything by Rimsky-Korsakoff, especially the Flight of the Bumblebee and Polovtsian Dances
Doctor Who soundtracks are all fairly moving
Anything by Hans Zimmer or John Williams (although Williams' music has so much copying it hurts)
Ian Clarke's experimental flute music is really interesting, but better to play than listen to...
Most of Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker suite is so pretty
Dvorak's New World Symphony :love:
Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata - the best piano music ever

erm I know a lot of them are classical but still instrumental so yeaah... that's just off the top of my head - I love instrumental music!!

Does "And I Will Kiss" from the 2012 Opening Ceremony count? It's not 100% instrumental but it might as well be. If it doesn't, it would probably have to be the opening credits music to MW2. Or anything by Hans Zimmer/Harry Gregson-Williams (shoutout to the MGS soundtrack as a whole and to Prince's Tale from HP7).

[Plebings]

don't listen to much but it'd usually be either math/post rock or dance/electro. have trouble listening to most orchestral/classical

battles (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCmbDq75ipY) - mainly instrumental post rock band.
phoenix (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=raVUU6AqmGQ) - not an instrumental band, but have a couple of good instrumental indie-pop songs.
totally enormous extinct dinosaurs (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nz9IJkLnpuY) - dance act, bit like hot chip, most of his recent songs use his vocals though.

Too much to name, really. I listen to a great deal of instrumental music. My most listened to piece is Mogwai's 2 Rights Make 1 Wrong, with Ludovico Einaudi as my most listened to musician. My favourite arrangement from him is Limbo. I'm particularly fond of music from composers such as Joe Hisaishi, Howard Shore, Koji Kondo, Ronan Hardiman and Thomas Newman. Going back to more classical pieces, I love Rachmaninoff's piano concertos, particularly Piano Concerto No. 2, as well as Debussy's Suite Bergamasque and Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake.

Einaudi for sure in terms of (contemporary) classical but I love trance music by people like infected mushroom . Also bitpop and synth pop obviously. *****malsklubben, rymkdraft, chvrches.

Same!! Just randomly had the urge to listen to it again the other day and remembered how great it was.

Like most of Goblin's stuff they are a band often in horror films mainly those of Dario Argento and did most of the soundtrack for Dawn of the Dead. I think I like the fact their stuff stands out being punch and experimental at times such as Suspiria. I have no problem with orchestra type scores but a lot of film scores seem to be very safe these days. I also listen to some of the doctor who stuff classic and new. John Carpenter's stuff is so simple but effective such as Halloween, Assault on precinct 13 etc.

Oh and Clint Mansell especially the fountain is a beautiful score.

I love the bagpipes so like Scotland the Brave and then I like all the national anthems/patriotic tunes.
